This past weekend when we were out wandering at Struan Farm with Charlie I looked across the Pet Paddock and saw a dark, flurry ball motoring across the grass. We decided to take Charlie to see his first hedgehog. Normally they get frightened and curl up in a ball when anyone gets near, but this one was quite inquisitive, if shy:
I remembered that there is a Beatrix Potter character who is a hedgehog. Her name is Mrs. Tiggy Winkle, and you can read about her here. She is a hedgehog and washerwoman for the animals and birds in the Lake District in England.
But perhaps Mrs. Tiggy has emigrated to New Zealand like so many other Brits?
